Downloaded 3.0 release version of Eclipse (eclipse-SDK-3.0-macosx-carbon.tar) and 3.08B version of MyEclipse (EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030800Beta1.zip).

Untarred eclipse into ~/Applications. Started app. Seems to work fine.

Unzipped EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030800Beta1.zip. Double clicked on “Enterprise Workbench Installer.app”. Nothing. Nada. No messages on the console. Nothing running via ‘ps -aux’ in terminal.

From other posts here, I was expecting a dialog asking for location of Eclipse installation and where to install MyEclips.

Suggestions? I can’t even seem to find a log file. Going to try a manual install now, but expectations are low.

Occasionally there is an issue with a Mac that is typically permission related, like in this thread:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-1334-highlight-mac+installer.html

Or if that’s not it, here’s a user that just jumped to the manual install and it worked fine.

Please let us know if you fix this with the permissions change above or have some issue with the manual install.

Thanks. I’ll give that a shot. Manual install _seemed_ to work but I’m getting some intermittent errors.

Got it to work.

1. Per first thread linked above, ran ‘chmod 755’ on the indicated file.
2. Attempted to run ‘Enterprise Workbench Installer.app’ from the Finder. This failed and produced errors in the system log (listed below).
3. Finally ran ~/Downloads/Enterprise Workbench Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Enterprise Workbench Installer (the file I made executeable in step 1) from the shell. This kicked off the GUI install as expected.
4. I can open the MyEclipse perspective and the expected changes are visible in the “New->Project” menus and elsewhere.
5. MyEclipse_Enterprise_Workbench_v3.8_Beta-1_InstallLog.log is under the MyEclipse directory and indicates all portions installation succeeded.

Excellent news. We’re glad you’re up and running and thank you for taking the time to post the log entries. We’ll give them a look and see if there’s something we can change on our end to prevent them in the future.
